In this episode of Founders Future, with host Olivia Sammons, we sit down with Amanda C. Watts, the founder of Business Advisor Academy. Amanda shares her powerful journey from being a burnt-out corporate employee to a single mother on benefits, and how she ultimately built and then intentionally blew up a million-dollar agency. She reveals the pivotal moment she decided to escape the "monster business" model of trading time for money to create a "freedom practice" that allows her and her clients to scale their income and influence without sacrificing their lifestyle.

Amanda delves into the core of her work at the Business Advisor Academy, where she helps experienced professionals—from frustrated corporate experts to traditional accountants—package their knowledge into high-value advisory services. She outlines her signature "500-210" framework for achieving £500k in revenue with £200k take-home pay, while working just 10 client-facing hours a week. Amanda also shares her effective marketing strategies, her unique "Champagne Close" sales process, and her ambitious goal to empower 500 new business advisors to save small businesses from failure.
